The Flickr Husker Image Generatr

With 9 days left in 2024 I will be posting my favorite photo from April. I didn’t take a lot of train photos in April (shocker I know), but I did take my camera along to a Husker Baseball game on April 26th against Iowa. In the bottom of the 7th inning Cole Evans hit this RBI double to break a 4-4 tie and the Huskers would go on to win 7-4.

Historical plaque next to the mural celebrating cornhuskers, seen in Kewanee, Illinois. Corn husking contests were highly popular competitions that were held from 1924 to 1941. The 1932 National Contest was held on the Peterson farm between Kewanee and Galva with an estimated 50,000 in attendance. Carl Seiler of nearby Knox County claimed the championship. Kewanee’s own Bill Rose was a champion husker. He won the Illinois championship in 1937 and finished second twice. As a result he competed in the National Contest three times–with 4th place his best finish. Two other area men were national champions—Elmer Williams of Stark County and Walter Olson of Knox County. The husker in the mural is representative of all the area farmers who one time husked corn for a living, as well as competing in contests.

Another Kewanee connection to corn husking was the fact most of the champions used husking hooks made in Kewanee by Boss Manufacturing. The company’s origin in 1889 was based on making the husking devices. During the 1890s the company began producing cotton gloves as well, and soon became one of Kewanee’s major industries.

So how this started:

Vin: So, how do you need me dressed?
Me: *long pause then smirks* ....as a coked up, dick-sucking ho.
Vin: o.o ......Okay, yeah. Yeah, we're doing this!

Inspired by Hazbin Hotel's 'Loser Baby,' here is my version! This song has no business being so catchy!

***Mature themes ahead! Listen/watch with caution!

So things look bad, and your back's against the wall
Your whole existence seems fuckin' hopeless
You're feelin' filthy as a dive bar bathroom stall
Can't face the world sober and dopeless
You've lost your way, you think your life is wrecked
Well, let me just say you're correct

(Wait, what?)

You're a loser, baby
A loser, goddamn baby
You're a fucked up little whiny bitch

(Hey!)

You're a loser, just like me

(Thanks, asshole)

You're a screws-loose boozer
An only one-star reviews-er
You're a power bottom at rock bottom
But you got company

(This supposed to make me feel better?)

There was a time I thought that no one could relate
To the gruesome ways in which I'm damaged
But lettin' walls down, it can sometimes set you straight!
We're all livin' in the same shit sandwich

(I sold my soul to a psychopathic freak)

And you think that makes you unique?
Get outta here, man!

We're both losers, baby
We're losers, it's okay to be a-

(-Coked-up, dick-suckin' ho?)

Baby, that's fine by me

I'm a loser, honey
A schmoozer and a dummy
But at least I know I'm not alone

You're a loser
(Just like me)

I got an appetite for gamblin'

I got an appetite for samplin' every drug and sex toy I can find

Go ahead baby, sing that song, come on!

I got no holes left to deflower

I sold my soul to save my power
Now I'm on that demon's leash

I'm trapped and it gets worse with every hour

You're a loser, baby
A loser, but just maybe if we
Eat shit together, things will end up differently

It's time to lose your self-loathin'
Excuse yourself, let hope in, baby
Play your card, be who you are

A loser, just like me
